I have a Paasche H-1 single action, a Badger Anthem 155 and an Iwata Revolution, both double action. I don't use the Paasche anymore. I find the Iwata to be very nicely balanced and easy to use. The

I think during the steam era, all livestock had to be quarantined at the border, at least photos of Portal ND, the border crossing of the CPR / Soo Line show a building that is clearly marked a

Gordon, The NMRA Library can probably answer your question. They are on the NMRA web site. (nmra.org) Also, I believe that most of the index info that was on the Kalmbach web site originally was

Since I have the pre '55 system herald, it wouldn't be that much of a streach to do a set for the car to augment the one I already have for a rebuilt (Tichy model) car. Any interest? Jerry

Bill, Thanks, now I know for sure. Larry

Gordon, how about using the database function of the group, I made an example table. Allen Rueter

I have no problems spraying Polly Scale with my 'H' brush. It's easier with a larger tip. The 'H' brush has three available tip sizes (H-1, H-3, and H-5), but is typically sold with the smallest

I am considering an article for a historical society publication related to researching and building a freight car model related to their specific railroad. My "criteria" (personal) also narrowed

Was the Branchline Blueprint 40 ft postwar AAR boxcar produced lettered for P&LE? Does anyone have a photo of a Branchline Blueprint 40 ft, 6 ft door, postwar AAR boxcar, lettered for P&LE, that I

I have been using Polly Scale in my H for a few years. I use distilled water from the drugstore as my thinner. I thin by eye. I spray at 25 to 30 psi and use a water trap. I take the airbrush apart
